Insurance… it is just one of those things that even the word “Insurance” brings a bunch of different emotions. I understand that I should be grateful for insurance. After 7 years of fighting a brain tumor, we still have money. We didn’t have to use all of our money to pay medical expenses. On the [...]

Pink elephants… I have been thinking about pink elephants. Do you think about pink elephants? Their trunks are cute, and their feet are huge. Sometimes, they have beady eyes and big eyelashes. Oh! You don’t think about pink elephants. I probably wouldn’t either if there wasn’t a challenge not to think about pink elephants. You [...]
